Learning/Staging

Phase 1

Its estimated that by 2025, there will be close to 5 billion users on the web.

The open Web - as we know and love it - is in danger. The web is moving towards closed, isolated ecosystems that limit and restrict the users' imagination and creativity, and ultimately the potential of the web for all. A glaring example of this was brought to light when Quartz recently reported that millions of Facebook users have no idea they’re using the internet.

If we do nothing, more people will come online, but they will use it passively. They will believe that a handful of apps or a social media platform is all there is to the web. They will not be able to utilize the full potential of the web to improve their lives.
<Insert a big quote (picture) of Mark's latest quote: People end up viewing the Web less as a life-changing resource, and more like a television.>
It is going to become more important than ever before to protect the web as a global public resource. See the Mozilla Manifesto for our guiding principles.

We also believe that it will be equally important to teach critical web literacy skills to promote meaningful participation online in the future. <Insert image from Mozilla club or something similar>
